#KingsLocal

King’s Vision 2029 sets out our ambition to be a civic university at the heart of London.

Our staff, students and alumni already work closely with local charities, schools and voluntary organisations and we know that these partnerships add value to research, education and to the communities around us.

With our home boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster, we’ve identified four areas where we can do even more to serve, support and sustain our local communities:

Education & attainment: ensuring everyone can aim high and reach their full potential

Business & enterprise: supporting the development of thriving local economies while creating opportunities for all

Community resilience: strengthening communities and helping them develop solutions to the problems they face

Health & wellbeing: improving the health and wellbeing of our communities through local partnership.

To deliver on this goal, we’re building stronger relationships with local authorities and working side by side with local organisations and community leaders to develop collaborative approaches to our shared challenges. Bespoke statements of intent with our local boroughs identify areas for collaboration informed by their ambitions and King’s strengths.
